Jennifer Petriglieri is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at INSEAD where she also directs the Executive Education Management Acceleration Program, the Women Leaders Programme and the INSEAD Gender Diversity Programme.

An award-winning researcher and teacher, Jennifer has been investigating how individuals craft and sustain their personal and professional identities in contexts characterized by uncertainty, such as mobile careers or organizations and professions in crisis. You can learn about the findings of her research in Jennifer’s book, Couples That Work. Published in 2019, the book explores how working or dual-career couples can thrive in love and at work. The book is full of practical tools which stretch beyond just agreeing who does the dishes.

In this conversation we unpack some of the insights from the book, while learning more about Jennifer’s own journey to academia.
